Volunteer Your Time There are a number of ways to help to support the Educational Foundation. Our organization is lead by a group of 15 volunteers who serve as trustees. These men come from a wide range of occupations including service as presidents, chief executive officers or senior executives of companies such as AT&T Capital Corporation and General Motors, and as attorneys, entrepreneurs, and from the field of education and the financial world. The Foundation board also has a committee structure made up from both trustee members and other Alpha Sig volunteers. Donate your Resources The easiest way for a Brother to support the Educational Foundation is to make a gift. Since the Alpha Sigma Phi Educational Foundation is a non-profit I.R.S. 501 (c)(3) organization, all contributions are tax-deductible.

The most common type of gift is cash. In addition the Educational Foundation can receive securities (stocks and bonds), art and property. Manigault Society Brothers can also join the Manigault Society by remembering the Educational Foundation in their estate planning. The most common forms of gifts here are: wills, life insurance, trusts, and charitable gift annuities. It was this special form of giving that enabled the Old Gal to receive its largest gift ever, a $6,400,00 bequest from Howard Kleinoeder, Washington ’35, Omega ’90. How money is invested Large gifts such as the one received from Brother Kleinoeder are set aside into a special fund. These funds are then invested into the stock market, bonds and money market accounts. The money generated from these investments is used to make grants to the Fraternity and fund the operations of the Educational Foundation.
